This might be the longest day I have ever stayed up. It's getting close to 4am and I'm suppose to get up again at 4:45 to go serve coffee to the runners and families of the Skinny Turkey half marathon in Raleigh. It's our first official event, although we are MOST DEFINITELY still in beta mode. Today was the first day we checked our plumbing in the trailer and sadly, our espresso machine isn't ready to make her grand debut.
The good news is we have some AMAZING coffee that we can't wait to share with the world!
(The Ethiopia Kochere is particularly scrumptious)
There's no way that I could have gotten this far if not for the METICULOUS, DEDICATED work of these three people:
Bethany, Cam, and Julie.
You guys just knocked my socks off this week. You have been working with me, sweating with me, laughing with me, and crying as we try to get this thing off the ground. Now we are here and it's all because of YOU! Thank you!
Today we finished the plumbing (with advice and counsel from Mark of Carrboro Coffee), solid oak trim on the counters, crown moulding, curtain install, and cabinets. We received our first shipment of milk from Homeland Creamery (thanks to the awesome folks at Respite for their help!), our first shipment of cups, lids, etc, and we got our register.
It seems crazy that we are actually going to try to serve coffee out of the trailer even though we JUST finished it up today, but that's how we roll!!
Watch out Raleigh! Here we come!

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll!
